EVs Are a Green Illusion
The process to manufacture electric vehicles is so environmentally toxic between the mining and assembly that it takes years of driving before emissions are reduced. …
Even then, the American power grid used to charge the car still relies primarily on fossil fuels. In other words, the car runs on coal. …
EVs Aren’t Cheap
The average transaction price for an electric car in September was $65,291, according to Kelley Blue Book, just $1,000 shy of the average luxury car. …
EV Subsidies Are Gifts to the Rich
The dubiously named Inflation Reduction Act extended up to $7,500 in federal subsidies for the purchase of an electric car. That only brings the price down to $58,000. …
Researchers at UC-Berkeley found in 2016 that “clean” energy tax credits have historically benefitted the upper class, with 90 percent of all credits on electric vehicles enjoyed by those in the top income quintile. …
EVs Are Vulnerable to Global Supply Chains
More problems with electric vehicles pertain to problems with American mining. China holds the world hostage when it comes to mineral refinement and battery production. Beijing presides over half the global electric car battery market while the U.S. lags behind and continues to shut down major mining projects.
EVs Aren’t Reliable
… drivers will be at the mercy of state regulators to travel once residents are prohibited from buying whatever car they want.
If residents can still charge their vehicles produced by China, they had better hope their batteries last. Replacing an electric car battery can cost between $4,000 and $20,000. The weight of the batteries, meanwhile, wears out the tires 20 percent faster than gas-powered alternatives.

They are taking away our way of life, cheap cars, cheap fuel , red meat, our shared history. What is next? Collectivists hate personal freedom.

It depends on what you label as “EVIL”. To the Left, it’s white people, cis genderism, and CO2. Nothing else.
“ A Bloomberg investigation found that the aluminum Ford is using to build its “eco-friendly” EV pickup comes from Brazil. There, in the heart of the Amazon, rust-colored bauxite is being clawed from a mine that has long faced allegations of pollution and land appropriation,” it found
Take the cobalt mines in Congo, where most of that stuff is found. Siddharth Kara, a fellow in public health at Harvard, describes it as “modern-day slavery.
Ronald Stein noted that “you must process 25,000 pounds of brine for the lithium, 30,000 pounds of ore for the cobalt, 5,000 pounds of ore for the nickel, and 25,000 pounds of ore for copper. All told, you dig up 500,000 pounds of the earth’s crust for just one battery.”

I refuse to drive a Coal Fired Car!
The “Green” movement is just another hoax perpetrated on the gullible masses by elitists as a way for them to gain even
more power and wealth while keeping the commoners snarling at each other.
How many more elitist owned multi-million dollar seaside mega-estates and how many more Davos climate conferences
attended by hundreds of elites flying ‘round the world in their fossil fuel powered private jumbo-jests will it take before
the idiot sheeple catch on to the fact they are being milked and sheared by the Gores, Kerrys and Obamas of the world?
Since gas prices have gone way up, causing inflation and budgeting difficulties for everyone, I have been driving no faster than the posted speed limit everywhere I go. It saves me money. Although there are several EV’s on the road now, none of them ever tailgate me. The only tailgaters that get stuck behind me are people driving gas engine cars and trucks. Most of the cars are the kind that need premium gas, and pickup trucks the size of commercial vehicles, that probably burn premium gas as well. I wish cars had $/mile gauges so people could see how fast they’re going through money on the road. If you spend $100+ on a tank of gas, and you’re in a hurry to get back to the gas station to buy more... this is what I think of when someone is stuck behind me and think I’ll go faster if they get closer...
Tesla’s are built by robots not children. What’s more, Tesla’s are built by many fewer robots that American made gasoline cars.
Tesla is making a car every 40 seconds at present. By reducing prices below that of the ICE competitors just this week, Tesla disrupted the market again.
The Tesla pick up is coming. It will destroy Ford. The Tesla truck is designed from scratch and is innovative as a truck. Ford, the truck market leader is attempting to add batteries to an existing truck design
I do not own a Tesla nor intend to purchase one. I observe and present a finding.
The market will decide the issue
When they get regime change in Russia they will obtain all of its natural resources with slave labor.. and a whole lot more of it than Brazil.
We know they placed dancin zel. Who will they pick for Russia… so we can start sending billions weekly.
Upgrades to our grid will be paid with rate hikes - most of which are paid by lower and middle class who cannot afford these stupid things...
And they are all in on the scam. Have you noticed that pretty much EVERY car commercial on TV now is for an EV?
if there is no climate crisis
EVs are stupid
there is no climate crisis
